FIELD

Provided herein are compounds that are modulators of JAK kinases, compositions comprising the compounds and methods of use thereof. The compounds provided are useful in the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of a disease or disorder related to JAK, including JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2 kinases, or one or more symptoms associated with such diseases or disorders.

BACKGROUND

The JAK kinase family is a cytoplasmic protein kinase family comprising the members JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2. Growth factor or cytokine receptors that recruit JAK kinases include the interferon receptors, interleukin receptors (receptors for the cytokines IL-2 to IL-7, IL-9 to IL-13, IL-15, IL-23), various hormone receptors (erythropoietin (Epo) receptor, the thrombopoietin (Tpo) receptor, the leptin receptor, the insulin receptor, the prolactin (PRL) receptor, the Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) receptor and the growth hormone receptor, receptor protein tyrosine kinases (such as EGFR and PDGFR), and receptors for other growth factors such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), Oncostatin M (OSM), IFNα/β/γ, Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) (See, Rane, S. G. and Reddy E. P., Oncogene 2000 19, 5662-5679).

Phosphorylated receptors serve as docking sites for other SH-2 domain containing signaling molecules that interact with JAKs such as the STAT family of transcription factors, Src family of kinases, MAP kinases, PI3 kinase and protein tyrosine phosphatases (Rane S. G. and Reddy E. P., Oncogene 2000 19, 5662-5679). The family of latent cytoplasmic transcription factors, STATs, is the most well characterized downstream substrates for JAKs. The STAT proteins bind to phosphorylated cytokine receptors through their SH2 domains to become phosphorylated by JAKs, which leads to their dimerization and release and eventual translocation to the nucleus where they activate gene transcription. The various members of STAT which have been identified thus far, are STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5 (including STAT5a and STAT5b) and STAT6.

Since the JAK kinases may play an important signaling role via such receptors, disorders of fat metabolism, growth disorders and disorders of the immune system are all potential therapeutic targets.

The JAK kinases and JAK2 mutations are implicated in myeloproliferative disorders, cancers, including blood borne and solid tumors. Exemplary disorders include chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and systemic mastocytosis (SM). Myeloproliferative disorders are believed to arise from either gain-of-function mutations to JAK itself or from activation by the oncoprotein BCR-ABL, which specifically activates the JAK2 pathway. Several literature reports describe role of JAK2 mutations in various disorders. See, Samanta et al. Cancer Res 2006, 66(13), 6468-6472, Sawyers et al. Cell, 1992, 70, 901-910, Tefferi N. Eng. J.

Literature indicates that JAK may also serve as a target for prostate cancer, including androgen-resistant prostate cancer. See, Barton et al. Mol. Canc. Ther. 2004 3(1), 11-20, Blume-Jensen et al. Nature (2001) 411(6835):355-356 and Bromberg J Clin Invest. (2002) 109(9):1139-1142, Rane Oncogene (2000) 19(49):5662-5679. JAK as a prominent mediator of the cytokine signaling pathway, is considered to be a therapeutic target for inflammation and transplant rejections. See, Borie et al., Transplantation (2005) 79(7):791-801 and Milici et al., Arthritis Research (2008) 10(R14):1-9

Given the multitude of diseases attributed to the dysregulation of JAK signaling, many small molecule inhibitors of JAK are currently being developed. Examples of compounds in preclinical development include TG101209 (TargeGen), examples are compounds being investigated in clinical studies include INCB018424 (Incyte), XL019 (Exelixis) and TG101348 (TargeGen). See, Pardanani et al. Leukemia 2007, 21:1658-1668; and Pardanai, A. Leukemia 2008 22:23-20.

There is, however, an ever-existing need to provide novel classes of compounds that are useful as inhibitors of enzymes in the JAK signaling pathway.

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “solvate” means a solvate formed from the association of one or more solvent molecules to a compound provided herein. The term “solvate” includes hydrates (e.g., mono-hydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate and the like).

As used herein, “substantially pure” means sufficiently homogeneous to appear free of readily detectable impurities as determined by standard methods of analysis, such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gel electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS), used by those of skill in the art to assess such purity, or sufficiently pure such that further purification would not detectably alter the physical and chemical properties, such as enzymatic and biological activities, of the substance. Methods for purification of the compounds to produce substantially chemically pure compounds are known to those of skill in the art. A substantially chemically pure compound may, however, be a mixture of stereoisomers. In such instances, further purification might increase the specific activity of the compound.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, where a compound may assume alternative tautomeric, regioisomeric and/or stereoisomeric forms, all alternative isomers are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the claimed subject matter. For example, where a compound is described as having one of two tautomeric forms, it is intended that the both tautomers be encompassed herein. Thus, the compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure, or be stereoisomeric or diastereomeric mixtures.

It is to be understood that the compounds provided herein may contain chiral centers. Such chiral centers may be of either the (R) or (S) configuration, or may be a mixture thereof.

Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, such as reverse phase HPLC or by crystallization.

In the description herein, if there is any discrepancy between a chemical name and chemical structure, the structure preferably controls.

As used herein, “isotopic composition” refers to the amount of each isotope present for a given atom, and “natural isotopic composition” refers to the naturally occurring isotopic composition or abundance for a given atom. Atoms containing their natural isotopic composition may also be referred to herein as “non-enriched” atoms. Unless otherwise designated, the atoms of the compounds recited herein are meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. For example, unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural isotopic composition.

As used herein, “isotopically enriched” refers to an atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. “Isotopically enriched” may also refer to a compound containing at least one atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom.

As used herein, “isotopic enrichment” refers to the percentage of incorporation of an amount of a specific isotope at a given atom in a molecule in the place of that atom's natural isotopic abundance. For example, deuterium enrichment of 1% at a given position means that 1% of the molecules in a given sample contain deuterium at the specified position. Because the naturally occurring distribution of deuterium is about 0.0156%, deuterium enrichment at any position in a compound synthesized using non-enriched starting materials is about 0.0156%. The isotopic enrichment of the compounds provided herein can be determined using conventional analytical methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art, including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

“Anti-cancer agents” refers to anti-metabolites (e.g., 5-fluoro-uracil, methotrexate, fludarabine), antimicrotubule agents (e.g., vinca alkaloids such as vincristine, vinblastine; taxanes such as paclitaxel, docetaxel), alkylating agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide, melphalan, carmustine, nitrosoureas such as bischloroethylnitrosurea and hydroxyurea), platinum agents (e.g. cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, JM-216 or satraplatin, CI-973), anthracyclines (e.g., doxrubicin, daunorubicin), antitumor antibiotics (e.g., mitomycin, idarubicin, adriamycin, daunomycin), topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g., etoposide, camptothecins), anti-angiogenesis agents (e.g. Sutent® and Bevacizumab) or any other cytotoxic agents, (estramustine phosphate, prednimustine), hormones or hormone agonists, antagonists, partial agonists or partial antagonists, kinase inhibitors, and radiation treatment.

“Anti-inflammatory agents” refers to matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, inhibitors of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., anti-TNF molecules, TNF soluble receptors, and IL1) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as prostaglandin synthase inhibitors (e.g., choline magnesium salicylate, salicylsalicyclic acid), COX-1 or COX-2 inhibitors), or glucocorticoid receptor agonists such as corticosteroids, methylprednisone, prednisone, or cortisone.

Also provided herein are isotopically enriched analogs of the compounds provided herein. Isotopic enrichment (for example, deuteration) of pharmaceuticals to improve pharmacokinetics (“PK”), pharmacodynamics (“PD”), and toxicity profiles, has been demonstrated previously with some classes of drugs. See, for example, Lijinsky et. al., Food Cosmet. Toxicol., 20: 393 (1982); Lijinsky et. al., J. Nat. Cancer Inst., 69: 1127 (1982); Mangold et. al., Mutation Res. 308: 33 (1994); Gordon et. al., Drug Metab. Dispos., 15: 589 (1987); Zello et. al., Metabolism, 43: 487 (1994); Gately et. al., J. Nucl. Med., 27: 388 (1986); Wade D, Chem. Biol. Interact. 117: 191 (1999).

Isotopic enrichment of a drug can be used, for example, to (1) reduce or eliminate unwanted metabolites, (2) increase the half-life of the parent drug, (3) decrease the number of doses needed to achieve a desired effect, (4) decrease the amount of a dose necessary to achieve a desired effect, (5) increase the formation of active metabolites, if any are formed, and/or (6) decrease the production of deleterious metabolites in specific tissues and/or create a more effective drug and/or a safer drug for combination therapy, whether the combination therapy is intentional or not.

Replacement of an atom for one of its isotopes often will result in a change in the reaction rate of a chemical reaction. This phenomenon is known as the Kinetic Isotope Effect (“KIE”). For example, if a C—H bond is broken during a rate-determining step in a chemical reaction (i.e. the step with the highest transition state energy), substitution of a deuterium for that hydrogen will cause a decrease in the reaction rate and the process will slow down. This phenomenon is known as the Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effect (“DKIE”). (See, e.g, Foster et al., Adv. Drug Res., vol. 14, pp. 1-36 (1985); Kushner et al., Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol., vol. 77, pp. 79-88 (1999)).

Tritium (“T”) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, used in research, fusion reactors, neutron generators and radiopharmaceuticals. Tritium is a hydrogen atom that has 2 neutrons in the nucleus and has an atomic weight close to 3. It occurs naturally in the environment in very low concentrations, most commonly found as T₂O. Tritium decays slowly (half-life=12.3 years) and emits a low energy beta particle that cannot penetrate the outer layer of human skin. Internal exposure is the main hazard associated with this isotope, yet it must be ingested in large amounts to pose a significant health risk. As compared with deuterium, a lesser amount of tritium must be consumed before it reaches a hazardous level. Substitution of tritium (“T”) for hydrogen results in yet a stronger bond than deuterium and gives numerically larger isotope effects. Similarly, substitution of isotopes for other elements, including, but not limited to, ¹³C or ¹⁴C for carbon, ³³S, ³⁴S, or ³⁶S for sulfur, ¹⁵N for nitrogen, and ¹⁷O or ¹⁸O for oxygen, will provide a similar kinetic isotope effects.

The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using a matrix controlled release device known to those skilled in the art (see, Takada et al in “Encyclopedia of Controlled Drug Delivery,” Vol. 2, Mathiowitz Ed., Wiley, 1999).

In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form is formulated using an erodible matrix device, which is water-swellable, erodible, or soluble polymers, including synthetic polymers, and naturally occurring polymers and derivatives, such as polysaccharides and proteins.

Materials useful in forming an erodible matrix include, but are not limited to, chitin, chitosan, dextran, and pullulan; gum agar, gum arabic, gum karaya, locust bean gum, gum tragacanth, carrageenans, gum ghatti, guar gum, xanthan gum, and scleroglucan; starches, such as dextrin and maltodextrin; hydrophilic colloids, such as pectin; phosphatides, such as lecithin; alginates; propylene glycol alginate; gelatin; collagen; and cellulosics, such as ethyl cellulose (EC), methylethyl cellulose (MEC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), CMEC, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose propionate (CP), cellulose butyrate (CB), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CAP, CAT, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), HPMCP, HPMCAS, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate trimellitate (HPMCAT), and ethylhydroxy ethylcellulose (EHEC); polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinyl acetate; glycerol fatty acid esters; polyacrylamide; polyacrylic acid; copolymers of ethacrylic acid or methacrylic acid (EUDRAGIT®, Rohm America, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.); poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate); polylactides; copolymers of L-glutamic acid and ethyl-L-glutamate; degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers; poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid; and other acrylic acid derivatives, such as homopolymers and copolymers of butylmethacrylate, methylmethacrylate, ethylmethacrylate, ethylacrylate, (2-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate, and (trimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate chloride.

Materials suitable for use as a non-erodible matrix device included, but are not limited to, insoluble plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl chloride copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubber epichlorohydrin rubbers, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer, and ethylene/vinyloxyethanol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, silicone rubbers, polydimethylsiloxanes, silicone carbonate copolymers, and; hydrophilic polymers, such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, crospovidone, and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, and fatty compounds, such as carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, and triglycerides.

In a matrix controlled release system, the desired release kinetics can be controlled, for example, via the polymer type employed, the polymer viscosity, the particle sizes of the polymer and/or the active ingredient(s), the ratio of the active ingredient(s) versus the polymer, and other excipients or carriers in the compositions.

The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, melt-granulation followed by compression.

2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices

The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using an osmotic controlled release device, including one-chamber system, two-chamber system, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruding core system (ECS). In general, such devices have at least two components: (a) the core which contains the active ingredient(s); and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port, which encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water to the core from an aqueous environment of use so as to cause drug release by extrusion through the delivery port(s).

In addition to the active ingredient(s), the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent, which creates a driving force for transport of water from the environment of use into the core of the device. One class of osmotic agents water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, which are also referred to as “osmopolymers” and “hydrogels,” including, but not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), crosslinked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/PVP copolymers, PVA/PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, sodium croscarmellose, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl, cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.

The other class of osmotic agents is osmogens, which are capable of imbibing water to affect an osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts, such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars, such as dextrose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol, organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.

Osmotic agents of different dissolution rates can be employed to influence how rapidly the active ingredient(s) is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars, such as MANNOGEM™ EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, DE) can be used to provide faster delivery during the first couple of hours to promptly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of the remaining amount to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient(s) is released at such a rate to replace the amount of the active ingredient metabolized and excreted.

The core can also include a wide variety of other excipients and carriers as described herein to enhance the performance of the dosage form or to promote stability or processing.

Materials useful in forming the semipermeable membrane include various grades of acrylics, vinyls, ethers, polyamides, polyesters, and cellulosic derivatives that are water-permeable and water-insoluble at physiologically relevant pHs, or are susceptible to being rendered water-insoluble by chemical alteration, such as crosslinking. Examples of suitable polymers useful in forming the coating, include plasticized, unplasticized, and reinforced cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, CA propionate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CA ethyl carbamate, CAP, CA methyl carbamate, CA succinate, cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), CA dimethylaminoacetate, CA ethyl carbonate, CA chloroacetate, CA ethyl oxalate, CA methyl sulfonate, CA butyl sulfonate, CA p-toluene sulfonate, agar acetate, amylose triacetate, beta glucan acetate, beta glucan triacetate, acetaldehyde dimethyl acetate, triacetate of locust bean gum, hydroxylated ethylene-vinylacetate, EC, PEG, PPG, PEG/PPG copolymers, PVP, HEC, HPC, CMC, CMEC, HPMC, HPMCP, HPMCAS, HPMCAT, poly(acrylic) acids and esters and poly(methacrylic) acids and esters and copolymers thereof, starch, dextran, dextrin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, polyalkenes, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.

Semipermeable membrane can also be a hydrophobic microporous membrane, wherein the pores are substantially filled with a gas and are not wetted by the aqueous medium but are permeable to water vapor, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,798,119. Such hydrophobic but water-vapor permeable membrane are typically composed of hydrophobic polymers such as polyalkenes, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid derivatives, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.

The delivery port(s) on the semipermeable membrane can be formed post-coating by mechanical or laser drilling. Delivery port(s) can also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the membrane over an indentation in the core. In addition, delivery ports can be formed during coating process, as in the case of asymmetric membrane coatings of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,612,059 and 5,698,220.

The total amount of the active ingredient(s) released and the release rate can substantially by modulated via the thickness and porosity of the semipermeable membrane, the composition of the core, and the number, size, and position of the delivery ports.

The pharmaceutical compositions in an osmotic controlled-release dosage form can further comprise additional conventional excipients or carriers as described herein to promote performance or processing of the formulation.

The osmotic controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art (see, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra; Santus and Baker, J. Controlled Release 1995, 35, 1-21; Verma et al., Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 2000, 26, 695-708; Verma et al., J. Controlled Release 2002, 79, 7-27).

G. PREPARATION OF COMPOUNDS

Starting materials in the synthesis examples provided herein are either available from commercial sources or via literature procedures (e.g., March Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, (1992) 4th Ed.; Wiley Interscience, New York). All commercially available compounds were used without further purification unless otherwise indicated. 300 MHz Proton (¹H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 300 NMR spectrometer. Significant peaks are tabulated and typically include: number of protons, and multiplicity (s, singlet; d, double; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br s, broad singlet). Chemical shifts are reported as parts per million (δ) relative to tetramethylsilane. Low resolution mass spectra (MS) were obtained as electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra, which were recorded on a Shimadzu HPLC/MS instrument using reverse-phase conditions (acetonitrile/water, 0.05% acetic acid). Preparative reverse phase HPLC was typically performed using a Varian HPLC system equipped with a Phenomenex phenylhexyl, a Phenomenex Luna C18, or a Varian Pursuit diphenyl reverse phase column; typical elution conditions utilized a gradient containing an increasing composition of organic cosolvent (0.05% HOAc/CH₃CN or 0.05% HOAc/MeOH) to aqueous cosolvent (0.05% aq HOAc). Silica gel chromatography was either performed manually, typically following the published procedure for flash chromatography (Still et al. (1978) J. Org. Chem. 43:2923), or on an automated system (for example, Biotage SP instrument) using pre-packed silica gel columns.

It is understood that in the following description, combinations of substituents and/or variables of the depicted formulae are permissible only if such contributions result in stable compounds under standard conditions.

It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the process described below the functional groups of intermediate compounds may need to be protected by suitable protecting groups. Such functional groups include hydroxy, amino, mercapto and carboxylic acid. Suitable protecting groups for hydroxy include trialkylsilyl or diarylalkylsilyl (e.g., t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl or trimethylsilyl), tetrahydropyranyl, benzyl, and the like. Suitable protecting groups for amino, amidino and guanidino include t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, and the like. Suitable protecting groups for mercapto include —C(O)—R (where R is alkyl, aryl or aralkyl), p-methoxybenzyl, trityl and the like. Suitable protecting groups for carboxylic acid include alkyl, aryl or aralkyl esters.

Protecting groups may be added or removed in accordance with standard techniques, which are well-known to those skilled in the art and as described herein. The use of protecting groups is described in detail in Green, T. W. and P. G. M. Wutz, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991), 2nd Ed., Wiley-Interscience.

One of ordinary skill in the art could readily ascertain which choices for each substituent are possible for the reaction conditions of each Scheme. Moreover, the substituents are selected from components as indicated in the specification heretofore, and may be attached to starting materials, intermediates, and/or final products according to schemes known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Also it will be apparent that the compounds provided herein could exist as one or more isomers, that is E/Z isomers, enantiomers and/or diastereomers.

Compounds of formula (I) may be generally prepared as depicted in the following schemes, unless otherwise noted, the various substituents are as defined elsewhere herein.

Standard abbreviations and acronyms as defined in J. Org. Chem. 2007 72(1): 23A-24A are used herein. Other abbreviations and acronyms used herein are as follows:

DCM dichloromethane DIEA diisopropylethylamine EDCI N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride EtOAc ethyl acetate EtOH ethanol FBS fetal bovine serum HATU O-(7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′- tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate HOAc acetic acid HOBt N-hydroxybenzotriazole MeOH methanol TEA Triethylamine Trityl Triphenylmethyl

Compounds provided herein are synthesized according to the following schemes and descriptions. Scheme 1 illustrates a general route to key synthetic intermediates and compounds provided herein via substituted anthranilimides 5. Starting from a substituted benzoic acid, nitration under standard conditions, for example, treatment with nitric acid under acidic conditions with heating as necessary, provides the corresponding nitrobenzoic acid 2, which is separated from any undesired regioisomers by chromatography or crystallization. Reduction of the nitro group under standard conditions, for example, using hydrogen gas and noble metal catalyst in a solvent such as water, a lower alcohol, EtOAc, or DMF; metallic Sn or Fe under acid conditions; or SnCl₂ in a solvent such as EtOH or DMF, affords the corresponding anthranilic acid 4. Conversion of the carboxyl group of 4 to the carboxamide group of 5 is accomplished by any of a variety of standard methods, including treatment with ammonia or ammonium chloride in the presence of coupling reagents such as HATU, EDCI, (Benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, and the like, or alternatively, via the acid chloride by treatment of the acid with thionyl chloride or phosphoryl chloride or the like, followed by addition of a suitable form of ammonia, such as ammonia in MeOH or ammonium hydroxide. Anthranilamide 5 is then condensed with a suitably activated carboxylic acid derivative 6 followed by dehydrative cyclization, promoted for example, with heat or with TMSCl in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as TEA, DIEA, or pyridine to form 4-hydroxyquinazolines 8. The hydroxyl group of 4-hydroxyquinazoline 8 is next converted to a leaving group. Examples of this transformation include treatment with a halogenating agent such as phosphoryl halide to produce quinazoline 9 (Z=halo), or with a sulfonyl chloride to produce quinazoline 9 (Z=a sulfonyloxy derivative), or with a halogenating agent followed by an organic mercaptan followed by sulfur oxidation to produce compound 7 (Z=a sulfinyl derivative). Quinazoline 9 is then allowed to react with a suitable pyrazole amine (pyrazole-NH₂) in a suitable solvent such as DMF or dimethylacetamide, optionally in the presence of a source of iodide ion, for example potassium iodide or tetrabutylammonium iodide, optionally with heating, to afford, after isolation, compound 10.

It is understood that at suitable stages of a synthetic process such as that illustrated in Scheme 1, one or more R⁶ groups of formulae 1-10 may serve as a precursor to a modified R⁶ group in the final compound provided herein. For example, if in compound I, R⁶═CO₂Me, the methoxycarbonyl group may be transformed at a suitable stage of the synthesis, to, for example, a carboxyl group by hydrolysis, to an amide by hydrolysis followed by carboxy group activation and treatment with an amine, to a hydroxymethyl group by reduction, to a tertiary carbinol by treatment with two equivalents of a Grignard reagent, to an aminomethyl group by reduction to a hydroxymethyl group followed by oxidation to an aldehyde followed by reductive amination with a suitable amine in the presence of a selective reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride. Similarly, if R⁶═OCH₂Ph, then R⁶ may be transformed to OH, by hydrogenolytic cleavage of the benzyl group, followed by alkylation of the resulting phenolic hydroxyl group with an optionally substituted alkyl halide or an optionally substituted alkyl sulfonate to form a corresponding aromatic ether.

Similarly, certain R groups in intermediates 8, 9, or 10 may be incorporated as shown in Scheme 1 and then converted to alternative R groups.

In Scheme 2, an anthranilamide 5 prepared according to Scheme 1 is treated with an activated oxalic acid derivative such as a dialkyl oxalate either neat or in a suitable solvent such as EtOH or HOAc; or anthranilamide 5 is treated with an oxalic acid monoalkyl ester chloride in a suitable solvent such as DCM in the presence of a base such as TEA and optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as DMAP; or anthranilamide 5 is treated with a cyano oxoacetate monoalkyl ester with heating in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile or DMF in the presence of a base such as TEA. Analogously to the methods described in Scheme 1, subsequent treatment under dehydrating conditions, for example, heating with or without TMSCl in the presence of a suitable base such as DIEA in a suitable solvent such as DCE affords the bicyclic product 11. In addition, a slightly modified procedure to intermediates 11 is reported in patent application WO2004/20441, incorporated by reference in its entirety. The alkoxycarbonyl group at the 2-position of the quinazoline ring of compound 12 or compound 14 can treated with a metalloarene, for example an aryl lithium or an aryl Grignard reagent in a suitable solvent such diethyl ether, THF, or other ether solvent, to produce ketone 13 or 15, respectively. Although not shown in Scheme 2, intermediate 11 also may be analogously treated with a metalloarene to form the corresponding aryl ketone.

Methods are illustrated in Scheme 3 for the conversion of ketones 15 prepared according to Scheme 2 to further compounds provided herein. Treatment of a compound 15 with a suitable reducing agent, for example a hydride reagent such as sodium borohydride in an alcohol solvent, or lithium borohydride in an ether solvent, or a related borohydride or aluminum hydride reagent in an appropriate solvent system, reduces the ketone to the corresponding carbinol 16. Treatment of ketone 15 with an alkyl or aryl lithium or magnesium halide reagent affords a tertiary carbinol 17. Alternatively, treatment of ketone 15 with an O-substituted or O-unsubstituted hydroxylamine in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol or alcohol/water mixture, optionally in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst, affords an oxime 18. The oxime may be further treated under reducing conditions, for example a borane-amine complex in the presence of a strong acid and heat for prolonged reaction times or hydrogenolysis conditions (H₂, noble metal catalyst, optionally in the presence of an organic or mineral acid) for prolonged periods to afford the amine 19. Alternatively, use of milder conditions such as lower temperature, shorter reaction times or milder acid, when present, afford the alkoxylamine or hydroxylamine 20.

Alternatively, amines 19 may be prepared according to the synthetic sequence illustrated in Scheme 4. In Scheme 4, the hydroxyl group in carbinol 16 is converted to a leaving group Z by treatment with, for example, a phosphorus halide to afford compound 21 (Z=halo) or by treatment with a sulfonyl halide in a suitable solvent such as DCM and in the presence of a hydrogen halide scavenger such as a tertiary amine, for example DIEA or pyridine, to afford compound 21 (Z=a sulfonyloxy derivative). For the last reaction, in the event of adventitious sulfonylation at one or more other sites of the molecule, the extraneous sulfonyl groups are removed at a later stage by treatment with a nucleophile such as hydroxide, ammonia, or hydrazine.

As shown in Scheme 4, intermediate 21 is further transformed to an azide 22 by displacement of leaving group Z with azide ion, for example by treatment of 21 with an alkali metal azide in a suitable solvent such as a dipolar aprotic solvent, for example DMF or DMSO, at a temperature between about 0° C. and about 100° C. Reduction of the azide with a reducing system, for example triphenylphosphine followed by hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis conditions (H₂, noble metal catalyst) in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol or DMF, affords amine 23.

Scheme 4 also illustrates that amines 23 can be further modified to form products of the invention 24, where one of the hydrogen atoms of the amino group has been substituted with a group R¹⁴. Treatment of amine 23 with an acylating agent such as an acid chloride or acid anhydride usually in the presence of base and optionally in the presence of an acylation catalyst such as DMAP or pyridine in a suitable solvent such as EtOAc, DCM, DMF, or THF, affords products 24 (R¹⁴=acyl). Alternatively, amine 23 is treated with an alkyl chloroformate, for example ethyl or isopropyl chloroformate, in the presence of base and optionally in the presence of an acylation catalyst such as DMAP or pyridine in a suitable solvent such as EtOAc, DCM, DMF, or THF to afford the corresponding carbamate 24 (R¹⁴═—C(O)OR¹²). Alternatively, amine 23 is treated with a sulfonyl halide, for example methane or benzene sulfonyl chloride, in the presence of base and optionally in the presence of an acylation catalyst such as DMAP or pyridine in a suitable solvent such as EtOAc, DCM, DMF, or THF to afford the corresponding sulfonamide 23 (R¹⁴═—SO₂R¹²). Alternatively, amine 23 in a suitable solvent such as MeOH, EtOH, or DME is treated with an aldehyde under dehydrating conditions, for example in the presence of molecular sieves or trimethyl orthoformate, optionally in the presence of an acid catalyst such as acetic acid or hydrochloric acid to form an intermediate imine, and the mixture is treated either concurrently or subsequently with a selective reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride, or (especially in the case of pretreatment with aldehyde) sodium borohydride to afford a new amine 23 (R¹⁴=alkyl or aryl, each of which is optionally substituted).

A representative method is illustrated in Scheme 5 for the conversion of ketone 15 to additional compounds provided herein. Ketone 15 in a suitable solvent such as THF, DME, diglyme, or DMSO is treated with the anion generated from treatment of a trialkylphosphonoacetate with a strong base such as sodium hydride, a lithium amide, dimsyl (DMSO) anion, or the like, at a suitable temperature between about 0° C. and about 100° C. to provide, following work-up and isolation, α,β-unsaturated ester 25. Treatment of compound 25 under suitable reducing conditions, for example with H₂ in the presence of a noble metal catalyst in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol or DMF affords ester 26. Reduction of the ester moiety of compound 19 may be effected by treatment with a hydride reducing system such as LiALH₄/THF, LiBH₄/THF, or Ca(BH₄)₂/EtOH/THF to afford primary alcohol 27. The hydroxyl group of alcohol 27 is converted to a leaving group Z using method well known in the art, for example treatment of 20 with a phosphoryl halide to afford 28 (Z=halide) or treatment of 27 with a sulfonyl halide to afford 28 (Z=a sulfonyloxy derivative). Intermediate 28 may then been treated with a nucleophile to afford compound 29. For example, treatment of compound 28 with a mercaptide nucleophile affords compound 29 (Y═S); treatment of compound 28 with an alkoxide nucleophile affords 29 (Y═O); treatment of compound 28 with an amine nucleophile affords compound 29 (Y═NH or NR^(x)).

A complementary approach to conversion of alcohol 27 to compounds provided herein is illustrated in Scheme 6. Alcohol 27 is first treated with a suitable oxidizing system such as pyridinium chlorochromate/DCM or Swern reagent (DMSO/oxalyl chloride/TEA/DCM) or DMSO/pyridine-sulfur trioxide complex/TEA or Dess-Martin periodinane (1,1,1-trisacetoxy)-1,1-dihydro-1,2-benziodoxol-3-(1H)-one/DCM) to afford aldehyde 30. Treatment of aldehyde 30 with a primary or secondary amine in the presence of a selective reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol, optionally in the presence of catalytic a catalytic quantity acid such as acetic acid, affords amine 31.

Example 79 Competition Binding Assay to Determine Binding Constants (K_(d)) of the Compounds Against JAK Kinases

Competition binding assays used herein were developed, validated and performed as described in Fabian et al., Nature Biotechnology 2005, 23, 329-336. Kinases were produced as fusions to T7 phage (See, Fabian et al. or WO04/015142) or alternatively, the kinases were expressed in HEK-293 cells and subsequently tagged with DNA for PCR detection (See, WO08/005,310). For the binding assays, streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated affinity ligands for 30 min at rt to generate affinity resins. The liganded beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinase, liganded affinity beads, and test compounds in 1× binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). Test compounds were prepared as 100× stocks in DMSO and rapidly diluted into the aqueous environment. DMSO was added to control assays lacking a test compound. Primary screen interactions were performed in polypropylene 384-well plates in a final volume of 34 μL, while Kd determinations were performed in polystyrene 96-well plates in a final volume of 135 pt. The assay plates were incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hour, long enough for binding reactions to reach equilibrium, and the affinity beads were washed extensively with wash buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20) to remove unbound protein. The beads were then resuspended in elution buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 2 μM non-biotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 30 min. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by quantitative PCR. Each kinase was tested individually against each compound. Kds were determined using eleven serial threefold dilutions. A selectivity score, which is a quantitative measure of selectivity of a compound against a panel of enzymes, may be calculated for a compound by dividing the number of enzymes for which a compound meets a set criteria, (for example, a binding constant of 100 nM or less), by the total number of enzymes tested. A kinase selectivity score, S10, for example, is calculated for each compound by dividing the number of kinases for which a compound at a certain concentration (for example, 10 μM) displayed inhibition of 90% or greater compared to negative control lacking inhibitors (DMSO only), divided by the 321 distinct kinases tested excluding mutant variants.

In one embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 20 μM against JAK2. In another embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 10 μM against JAK2. In another embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 1 μM against JAK2.

In another embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 20 μM against JAK3. In another embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 10 μM against JAK3. In another embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 1 μM against JAK3.

The cell line contains stably integrated beta-lactamase reporter gene under the control of the regulatory factor 1 (irf 1) response element recognized by the activated transcription factor STATS. csTF-1 cells (Invitrogen K1219) were washed with assay media (97% OPTIMEM/0.5% dialyzed FBS/0.1 mM NEAA/1 mM Na pyr/P/S) and seeded in the same media at 5×10⁵ cell/mL in T150 flask. After 16 hour incubation, cells were seeded at 2×10⁵ cell/well in 50 μl volume, into Costar, clear bottom, 96-well assay plates. Serial dilutions of compounds were added to the plates with final DMSO concentration at 0.5% and GM-CSF at 2 ng/mL and the plates were then incubated at 30° C. and 5% CO₂ for 4 hours. The plates were brought to room temperature before adding Substrate Mixture according to manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, Catalog #K1085). The assay plates containing the substrate mixture were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 2 hours. Blue and green fluorescence was measured with excitation at 409 nm and emission at 460 nm (for blue) and excitation at 409 nm and emission at 530 nm (for green) using Spectra Max Gemini EM.

Example 81 Dose Responsive Effects of a compound of Formula I in Rat Type II Collagen-Induced Arthritis (CIA) Model

On Day 0 of the experiment, female Lewis rats (Charles River) were injected subcutaneously at three different sites on the back each with 300 μL of bovine Type II collagen emulsified in Freund's incomplete adjuvant, for a total of 1.2 mg of collagen administered per animal. The animals received a boost at Day 6. Caliper measures of normal (pre-disease) right and left ankle joints were done on Day 8. Upon onset of arthritis (Day 9), the rats were randomized into treatment groups of 8 animals per each arthritic group (with 4 animals having been initially reserved for the normal control group). Starting on Day 9, a compound of Formula I was diluted in Pharmatek#6 and treatment was initiated with the oral administration of a compound of Formula I at 5 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg or 60 mg/kg BID at 12 hour intervals or at 60 mg/kg QD. The control arthritic groups included a vehicle control, a water control, a no treatment control and a positive control group given an oral administration of dexamethasone at 0.03 mg/kg QD. Treatment continued for a total of 6 days. Caliper measurements of the ankles were taken every day starting from Day 9 through Day 16. Results of the assay are provided in FIG. 1.

An exemplary compound of Formula I provided a statistically significant improvement in ankle thickness at ≧5 mg/kg BID as early as treatment Day 2. Maximum efficacy for the compound in the CIA rat model was observed at 60 mg/kg (QD or BID). A correlation between the clinical paw swelling score and histology was observed.

Effect of the treatment on body weight of rats was measured from Day 9 through Day 16 as percent change in the body weight from the baseline. Results are provided in FIG. 2.

Example 82 In Vivo Efficacy Study in the Mouse TELJAK Mouse Model

This study was conducted to determine the effect of a selected compound of Formula I on tumor progression and survival. CB17 SCID mice (Harlan Laboratories) were inoculated with 5e5 TEL-JAK cells via tail vein on day 0. Cells were allowed to establish in the animal, and on day 3, dosing was initiated as follows: Vehicle (Pharmatek#6) administered 50 uL at BID to a first group, Ambit Internal Compound prepared in Pharmatek #6 and administered at 50 mg/kg BID to a second group and TGEN101348 prepared in Pharmatek #6 to a third group at 100 mg/kg BID. Each treatment group (16 animals per group) received a twice daily dosing for a two week period. An untreated group of 10 animals also served as control. FIG. 3 shows the results of the Kaplan Meier survival analysis.

A second study was conducted using the same protocol, with the same controls and the following treatment groups: Ambit Internal Compound A prepared in Pharmatek #6 administered at 60 mg/kg BID and a selected compound of Formula I prepared in Pharmatek#6 at 60 mg/kg BID. FIG. 4 shows the results of the Kaplan Meier survival analysis.

The data shows that Ambit Internal Compound provides greater than 70% increased life span (ILS) while TGEN101348 provides 30% ILS. The selected compound of Formula I is shown to perform better than Ambit Internal Compound and is therefore expected to perform better than TGEN101348 preclinically.

Example 83 In Vivo Efficacy Study in the Mouse HELV617F Liquid Tumor Mouse Model

This study was conducted to determine the effect of a selected compound of Formula I on tumor progression and survival. CB17 SCID mice (Charles River Labs) were pretreated with cyclophosphamide IP QD at 150 mg/kg for two consecutive days before being injected with cells. On Day 0, 75 mice were inoculated IV with 5e6 HEL 92.1.7 cells suspended in sterile saline. Animals were weighed on Day 8, and assigned to groups with similar mean body weights and similar standard deviations from the mean. Animals were dosed on Day 8 for a 21 day dosing period. Treatment groups were as follows (10 animals per group): First group was administered vehicle (Pharmatek#6), PO, BID; a second group was administered Ambit Internal Compound A prepared in Pharmatek#6, at 50 mg/kg PO, BID; and a third group was administered TGEN101348 prepared in Pharmatek#6, at 120 mg/kg PO, BID. An untreated group of 10 animals also served as control. FIG. 5 shows the results of the Kaplan Meier analysis.

Another study was conducted using the same protocol, with the same controls and the following treatment groups: Ambit Internal Compound A prepared in Pharmatek #6 administered at 60 mg/kg BID and a selected compound of Formula I prepared in Pharmatek#6 at 60 mg/kg BID. FIG. 6 shows the results of the Kaplan Meier analysis. FIGS. 5 and 6 show that the Ambit Internal Compound and the selected compound of Formula I provide approximately a 30% increased life span (ILS) while TGEN101348 provides no survival benefit (approximately 5% ILS).

Example 84 Other Cell-Based Assays

Compounds of Formula I were also tested in other cell-based assays, for example, pSTAT5 electrochemiluminescence immunoassays (Meso Scale Discovery) in csTF-1 and HEL cell lines, and found to be potent in those assays. The effects of the compounds of Formula I on BaF3 cell proliferation were also tested using the CellTiter-Blue® assay (Promega).

Inhibition of DTH Response to Ovalbumin in CD-1 Mice

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a compound of Formula I in a mouse model of ovalbumin-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity (type IV hypersensitivity, DTH) using two dosing schedules. Delayed-type hypersensitivity is characterized by antigen specific T-cell production of cytokines, resulting in increased vascular permeability, infiltration by mononuclear and polymorphonuclear cells, edema and induration. Primary exposure to antigen (sensitization phase) elicits development of antigen specific memory T-cells that are activated upon secondary exposure (challenge).

The biphasic nature of Type IV hypersensitivity provides a model to differentiate the immunopharmacological activity of compounds with immunomodulatory properties. Compounds that are immunosuppressive (suppress the primary immune response) would be expected to be effective when administered during the sensitization phase. Compounds that are anti-inflammatory would be expected to be effective when administered during the recall phase, preventing or down regulating the antigen recognition and/or activation of memory T-cells, or by interrupting the secondary signaling cascades induced by T-cell produced cytokines and growth factors (thereby reducing/preventing increased vascular permeability and inflammatory cell motility/recruitment). Compounds that are immunostimulatory would be expected to increase the DTH response when administered during sensitization (increased antigen presentation or memory T-cell expansion), or during recall phase (increased T-cell activation and cytokine/chemokine production, and/or inflammatory cell motility/recruitment/activation).

Since modifications will be apparent to those of skill in the art, it is intended that the claimed subject matter be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
